Just an update..
I installed the kit recently, love the torque down low, with the turbo spin up so fast, it's like having Vtec around 3500 RPM. I am still running base tune and someone mention it running lean during partial throttle and I can definitely see that with my AEM Uego gauge. I notice even highway crusing @ around 70mph, @ about 10-15% throttle I am getting like 15 on UEgo. but if I press down further on the gas (around 40-50%) the AFR drop to around 12. but of course I need to take the eye off the gauge and look at the road (hahaha)
As for boost creep, my turbo's WG was ported by Engineer X and there is absolutely no creep. with Berk TP + HKS Hi Power Cat Back, and 20-30 degress temp, my boost @ WOT is stable @ around 8.1 Psi.
BTW my mpg is horrible now, I fill up yesterday and used a quarter tank only gets about 50 miles. hope this will improve with the tune.
Before the upgrade I had stock airbbox and so I am not use to the custant humming from the intake. I have a OEM HT and even did sound deadening on the door and floor (before Turbo) but all that seems to does is cut off other noise but amplify the humm at low speed. I wonder if I apply the Rammat on the intake charge pipe, will that cut off some of the hum?
I am going to stick with base tune for now, until the weather gets a bit warmer, then I will get it tuned.

Glad you're enjoying it! Congrats on getting it done.
My mileage didn't change at all after installing the Greddy kit. Also, it made the car considerably quieter because it muffles the rather loud OEM intake noises the F20C makes.
However, I did have a noticeable whooshing noise. That turned out to be oil trying to force its way through the oil filter relocation kit lines, which I could never keep from kinking. I changed over to an Inline Pro relo kit and now the noise is gone. (Plus I'm no longer worrying about whether I'm starving the engine of oil or putting undue stress on the system.) I'd suggest taking a close look at your oil relo lines to make sure they aren't kinked.

I am not running the stock base map. BUT to be on the safe side make sure you have a boost gauge and A/F gauge so you can keep an eye out. I love my greddy kit. The spool downlow makes driving a breeze. I hardly hit vtec unless I am racing someone as the amount of power pre-vtec is amazing.
kit....seeing some dynos that show hitting max"stock" HP @5,000
rpms and also 230lb.ft. around 4500 rpm's!!
To reach 250 crank HP before VTEC..being very racy and
not having to VTEC makes this car what it should be and more.
Any idea of a GReddy'd 10psi in a 0-60 run?
Around 4.8 to 5.1 would be sweet

That is exactly what it does best... I haven't bothered to hit VTEC since installing it in April and taking it out for some test runs. Unless you're racing somebody, there's no need.
Stomp it in any gear at any rpm and it jumps, immediately. No lag, just GO!!! It's a 180-degree behavioral change from an OEM S2000.

Any rough estimate of a 0-60...GReddy turbo kit
running 10 psi?
Would be awesome to see 4.7-5.1...on paper..2850lb. car
with rigid chassis..nice size tires..340 crank HP and 260lb. ft.
should be able to acheive that!
